The Capsule Endoscopy?

I read the Smarts's post. I have a question. My firt gastroenterologist mentioned the same test:a capsule endoscopy, but after the result from the genetic test came back negative, I never proceeded. He told me that I can never have the celiac disease. I don't know what the numbers were, but I'm intended to find it (I might be also positive only in one thing like SMARTS). From that day he loocked at me like I'm making up the stories about my body. I never went back to him. I found the another doctor, but he also didn't believed me. The tests are confusing to him.

If I would go back to the first doctor and ask for the capsule endoscopy after being two months of gluten, what my results would be today? Again nothing? It is worth to even try? :blink:

Hard to say after two months. Do you feel a lot better off gluten?

I do feel better, but I still have some other issues (pancreatitis, or pancreatic insufficiency). I don't have diarrhea at all(more the other way), I losted 25 pounds (I'm very happy about that because I was overweight), I don't have the mouth sores and my energy came back.

When I'm not eating I'm ok, but soon I would eat anything I'm feeling dizzy (like I just drank a half of the bottle of some hard alcohol), pain on the left side of my stomach. Doctors don't know what that is. I'm stuck in the house for three months now. Wen I need to drive, or to go somewhere I will not eat because I'm afraid to cause an accident.

I would like to be normal again. It's geting on my nerves. :(:(

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      This might be helpful to you at this point:

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?
